They installed the insulation in half a day and filled and painted the holes in another half a day. The house is now 1000 times warmer and it was very reasonably priced

Wow, amazing, fantastic, unbelievable!! I looked out of the window and saw the heavy frost. I then checked the weather app on my phone and saw that the outside temperature in my area was -5 degrees. In the house, the temperature was 13 degrees with no heating on at all. On mornings like this, the inside temperature would have been 6 or 7 degrees maximum.

Why renovate to insulate?
